The ceramic plate being loaded on the turntable (left) will be carried to the rear of the machine, where a silver circuit pattern will be impressed on it. The printed plate will then be carried to the unloading position (right), where it will be flipped into the discharge chute. The motor-driven machine prints 1,000 or more plates per hour. This image is part of the Circuit Printers for Flat and Cylindrical Surfaces collection.
